In front of the largest ever crowd of 83019 at a Rovers match Celtic win 3-2 in the Scottish Cup semi-final played at Hampden Park. Willie Penman made it 2-2 with ten minutes to go but Celtic's Tully scored the winner one minute later.

I noticed a recent OTD on the website mentioned that in 1952 the board approved broadcasting games on hospital radio.

Do any posters have any memory of who used to commentate and how long the service was provided.

I don't know who did them but can still see (in my mind's eye) one of the two men wearing his 1950's heavy wool overcoat coming up the steps/passageway to the wee box right up the back of 'A' Stand as it was in the late 50' and through the 1960's. We had season tickets for Row L seats 9 & 10 not far in front of the commentary box.
Changed days regarding match communications!😊

I was speaking to an Alloa fan last night.
He's not Mendy's biggest fan, but said his sending off was a joke.
He'd been booked when a Dumbarton player, obviously aware of the fact he was on a yellow, blasted the ball at him in an attempt to get a reaction.
Mendy walked forward towards the guy and the Dumbarton player lifted his hand towards Mendy.
Mendy lifted his own hand towards the Dumbarton player's hand to stop him and the referee bought it hook,line and sinker, booking both players and therefore Mendy was off.

Sorry, just realised I posted in the wrong thread.
Should have been in the Mendy thread.
